more like, government intervention is necessary but should be kept to a minimum

like in instances where someone's rights are being infringed upon

What I stated was ancaps can get talked to about roads, but for yours it's more.about overall standardization

ahhh

my mistake

I don't quite understand the argument here, there are still standards for quality, the standardization comes from genuine competition kept honest by regulation

As a libertarian you likely don't want publically funded firefighters as that is a market to be met and even if you do, the houses each individual built can be so unique from the other that fire hydrants may not be available within reasonable distance

Consumer protection is very important for actual competition to drive innovation and improvement

oh, no i do <:dogekek:618610136830967849>

@Soup Can Sam depends on what type of competitiveness you want

but im from a quite left wing country so im considered to be more libertarian here than other places

No, I understand the necessity of publicly funded institutions that markets can't improve or support

I personally like new technologies and not consumer goods that make things slightly easier

New tech doesn't always have a market

Right and innovation is driven best by competition

^

Especially in tech

I see it as reasonable to think markets don't always guide you one the right path

No it's not always

The problem is that tech doesnt have enough competition, huge companies have huge oligopolies on tech systems

How do you dismantle a monopoly as a libertarian then

but with cases like valeant/philidor government intervention is definitely necessary

Which is why you need a central government to come in with a hammer and break these cooperative systems up

yes

Its a unification of ideas

limited but necessary

I'm not an absolutist

Ok you're not the libertarian I'd thought of

I chose libertarian as a tag because it best represents my social viewpoints

same lol

But because labels are bad, I always have to clarify that I'm not a total economic libertarian

Ok that's cool

Idk what I am

Do you have something you're closest to?

What would you call yourself if you had to

I honestly don't know, the ideal economic system for me is one that exploits competition and markets while protecting workers rights and the individual consumer

So basically the Scandinavian countries economically

NOT SOCIALLY

Haha

just economically

I know what you are bro dw
